This study compares two different imaging methods used to look at the arteries in your heart: a non-invasive CT scan and a more detailed imaging done during a heart catheterization procedure. Researchers want to understand how well these two methods work together to detect and assess blockages and plaque buildup in your coronary arteries, and whether this information can help guide future treatment decisions.
New advances in CT imaging technology and artificial intelligence now show promise for detecting heart artery disease without invasive procedures, but doctors need to compare these newer methods directly against the gold-standard invasive imaging to prove they work well. This study also explores whether focusing treatment on plaque burden and composition—not just blockages—might improve long-term outcomes for heart disease patients.

If you qualify, you will be enrolled in a registry—a systematic collection of medical information—as long as you have already had both a CT scan of your heart and an invasive heart catheterization with detailed imaging within 3 months of each other. You will not need to undergo additional procedures; instead, researchers will review your existing imaging results and medical records to compare how well the two imaging methods match and what they reveal about your heart artery disease. Follow-up information about your long-term health outcomes may be collected over time.
